Michael Sobel Hospice looking for participants willing to be locked up for charity

A Northwood hospice is looking for participants willing to be locked up for charity.

Michael Sobel Hospice, based at Mount Vernon Hospital, is holding a Jail and Bail fundraising event where participants will be arrested and locked up overnight for charity.

The event will take place on Friday, October 3 and those who enter the challenge will be asked to raise £1,000 before the day or spend time in a cell at Ruislip Police Station.

Those who don’t raise the money will be arrested by police officers at the hospice and taken to jail where they can use a mobile phone and a list of contacts to call until the full bail amount is raised.

Trish Mule, community fundraiser at the hospice, said: "This will be a challenging but very entertaining event. This event will not only raise vital funds but also help to raise the profile of the hospice."

The charity hopes to raise at least £10,000 during the event as part of the £1.5 million the hospice needs annually to maintain the current level of patient care at the hospice.
